Ingredients
Method
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Use a pastry blender to cut in cold chunks of butter until mixture resembles cornmeal.
- Stir in water gradually, keep stirring until mixture forms a ball (I normally help the process along by shaping it with my hands)
- Cover bowl in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Roll dough on a floured surface with a floured rolling pin. Make sure you roll it out evenly and large enough to overlap into your pie plate.
- Place crust in pie plate, press dough evenly into the sides and bottom of pan.
- Bake according to pie recipe or filling instructions.
Notes
This recipe makes a single crust, if you're making a pie that requires a top crust, make sure to double it!
If you want a flakier crust substitute half of the butter for lard.
